Our goal at Maker U to help you design, source, and sell any product idea. By providing resources, education, and access to key partners, we make it easier for you to launch a product successfully.
Tap into our physical product ecosystem.
Action-oriented resources, factory & vendor contacts, mentoring program and more.
Once upon a time, manufacturing something required resources and connections that the average person didn’t have. Technology has removed these barriers, offering an abundance of ways to connect with factories, handle logistics, and find customers. While launching a product is never easy, if you have a great idea and a healthy amount of hustle, you can make it happen!
BOOTSTRAPPING WORKS
Physical product entrepreneurs do not need large amounts of outside funding to succeed. When it comes to making and selling physical goods, there are a host of affordable tools to help you with branding, testing, shipping, photography and more. This is a business model that allows you succeed on modest amounts of initial capital.
SUCCESS HAS MANY FORMS
Create your own definition of success. Do you want to generate side income through a Shopify or Amazon store? Or make a difference in people's lives with a purpose-driven product? Completely disrupt your product category and exit with a big payout? All of these are valid goals. Succeeding in this space is not one-size fits all!
ENTREPRENEURSHIP BUILDS CHARACTER
The most valuable part of the entrepreneurial journey happens inside of you. When you build something new, you build your own character in the process. Improved judgement, self-confidence, persistence, resilience, and optimism are some of the most "profitable" parts of starting a business.
